Flavored with cocoa, unsweetened chocolate, and loaded with chocolate chunks, this Double Chocolate Cookie Recipe is obscenely decadent! PRO-Tip: Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix the cookie dough. If the cookies are misshapen, use a spatula to tap the cookies into rounds, holding the pan securely with a hot pad. PRO-Tip: Reserve some of the chocolate chunks to press onto the tops of the warm cookies for a more professional-looking cookie!

Plus, the White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting pushed these Raspberry Brownies over the top! We have had lots of successes in the Skinny Chick test kitchen, but these Raspberry Chambord Brownies with white chocolate icing were a home run. The results were rich and fudgy, with a subtle boost of flavor and moistness from the raspberry jam and Chambord, a black raspberry liqueur. A double dose of chocolate never hurts, plus it’s the perfect backdrop for plump ripe raspberries if you care to garnish these raspberry jam brownies for company.

Strawberry Meringue Cake combines four crispy meringues, luscious strawberry slices, and sweet, decadent mascarpone cream for the ultimate spring dessert! I’m always certain of a hit when I bake up a strawberry and cream dessert recipe like this one. From crisp meringue cookies to meringue topped pies to desserts like this dreamy Strawberry Pavlova, Strawberry Vanilla Cream Pie and this Strawberry Filled Meringue Roulade. There’s no better way to usher in the spring season than a sinful strawberry and cream dessert like this strawberry meringue cake.

This Broccoli and Chicken dish is better than takeout from your favorite Chinese restaurant since it’s made with a homemade stir fry sauce, juicy, tender chicken, and perfectly cooked and vibrant broccoli. The combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, etc. reminds me of my first taste of real Chinese food as a teen. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – Pro-Tip: cut into cubes before the chicken is completely defrosted for nice cubes of chicken. Chicken Chipotle Quesadillas are a delicious Tex-Mex option, and this Sun-Dried Tomato and Sausage Pasta with Broccoli has a bit of an Italian twist and is a frequent flyer at our house!
